The Great Khan of the Xirong Tribe, Ah Rishan, suddenly said that he wanted to disband the coalition army, so that the atmosphere in the felt bag suddenly became a little weird, and after the Great Khan of the Xirong Tribe, Ah Rishan, said this, the Great Khan of the other tribes just looked at each other, and no one spoke again.

This time, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Khitan, Xirong, Wuheng, Rouran, Donghu, Tiele and Karasuma nine steppe peoples, as well as more than 100 large and small nomadic peoples attached to these nine tribes, together formed a coalition army to crusade against the Broken Army.

It's a pity that after the big war against the Broken Capture Army really broke out, the course of the war was very different from what the Great Khan of all ethnic groups expected, although the coalition army of all ethnic groups gathered tens of millions of troops, but there was no way to take the Broken Army, and the coalition army of all ethnic groups themselves suffered extremely heavy losses in the battle with the Broken Army.

You must know that there are disputes between the various tribes of the grassland, such as the Xiongnu and the Xianbei, until the beginning of February of the Great Jin Dynasty 429, it ended a war that lasted for more than three years, although the intensity of the war is not high, but the two tribes also lost more than 100,000 people, which shows that the grassland alliance formed against the broken army can not be so united.

It's okay to say if the war goes well, but now in the face of the hard bone of the broken army, the coalition forces of all ethnic groups can't gnaw on it, and two of their front teeth have been knocked out, which makes the Great Khan of all ethnic groups and even the generals of all ethnic groups inevitably have some other thoughts in their hearts.

The Great Khan of the Huns, Luan Timao, suddenly coughed and said: "This Great Khan feels that since the one million cavalry of our coalition army that bypassed Qudeng City has made no progress in the territory of the Beiting Protectorate, it is better to let these million cavalry return to Qudeng City as soon as possible and join the main force of our coalition army, so as not to have many dreams at night. ”

After a pause, the Great Khan of the Huns Luan Timao continued: "As for whether the coalition army is disbanded, when the one million cavalry of all ethnic groups who have penetrated into the Beiting Protectorate return to Qudeng City, our Great Khan of all ethnic groups will discuss it again!" ”

At this time, Murong Ke, the Great Khan of Xianbei, asked with a solemn face: "Luan Ti is sweating, could it be that you also agree with the dissolution of the coalition army?" ”

Xianbei Khan Murong Ke was not willing to let the coalition disband, and now the power of the Xianbei tribe has expanded to the edge of the Beiting Protectorate, which makes the Xianbei tribe have a very big wariness of the Beiting Protectorate and the Broken Army, after the Xianbei and the Xiongnu ended more than three years of friction, the Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke immediately took the lead and formed this coalition army dominated by the nine nomadic tribes of the grassland, hoping to completely wipe out the Broken Army to remove the threat of the Broken Army to the Xianbei Tribe.

Once the coalition is now disbanded, the Xianbei will bear the brunt of the wrath of the Breakers.

The Xiongnu Great Khan Luan Timao glanced at the Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke, shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's not that this Great Khan agrees to disband the coalition army, but that our allied forces of all ethnic groups are fighting hard with the broken army, which really outweighs the losses, and we can't really let the armies of all ethnic groups fight out!" ”

Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke opened his mouth, and finally did not refute the Xiongnu Great Khan Luan Timao, but just sighed helplessly, Murong Ke saw that the Hun Great Khan Luan Timao's heart to withdraw from the coalition was already very firm, and it was impossible for him to change his mind.

In the end, the Great Khan of the Nine Clans agreed to first recall the one million cavalry of all ethnic groups who had penetrated into the Beiting Protectorate to Qudeng City and join the main force of the coalition army, as for whether the coalition army was really disbanded, wait for the return of the one million cavalry to conduct research, and before the return of the one million cavalry, the cavalry of the various ethnic groups of the coalition army temporarily stopped the active attack on the broken army.

After the Xiongnu Great Khan Luan Timao left the handsome tent of the Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke, he directly returned to the Xiongnu garrison with a large number of guards.

After returning to his handsome tent, the Xiongnu Khan Luan Timao sent someone to find his own son, Luan Tihan, the king of Xiongnu Zuoxin.

"Father Khan, I brought the child so late, I don't know what happened?"

The Great Khan of the Huns, Luan Ti, said in a deep voice: "From tomorrow, the cavalry of our Xiongnu headquarters plus the cavalry of the subordinate clans, do not continue to fight, and the other clans will also temporarily stop attacking the Broken Army, and after the one million cavalry of all clans who have penetrated into the Beiting Protectorate return to Qudeng City, it should be time for our coalition army to be disbanded." ”

When Luan Tihan, the king of the Xiongnu Zuoxin, heard this, there was no surprise on his face, and he immediately nodded and said: "It is true that we can no longer continue to fight with the Broken Army, the cavalry of our Xiongnu headquarters plus the cavalry of the affiliated tribes, not counting the 200,000 people sent to the Beiting Protectorate, have lost almost 800,000 people, this loss is too great, and the grassland of our Xiongnu tribe does not border the territory of the Broken Army, and our Xiongnu Nation cannot commit it for those nationalities threatened by the Broken Army. And let our Huns be greatly damaged! ”

The Great Khan of the Huns, Luan Ti, sighed and said: "Just like you said, although the Broken Army is a huge threat to all the tribes in the grassland, the territory of the Broken Army is not connected to the grassland of our Xiongnu tribe after all, as for the threat of the Broken Army, let the Xianbei tribe have a headache!" ”

Beginning on July 11, the Grassland Coalition suddenly stopped its active attack on the Broken Army, and only sent a large number of scouts to monitor the movements of the Broken Army's camp.

On the evening of July 12, in the tent of Liu Ji Shuai in the camp of the broken army outside Qudeng City, Zhang Liang said to Liu Ji with a happy face: "My lord, Pengshan City in Qingzhou and Yao Ancheng in Mizhou have successively sent flying pigeons to pass the book, and the Hu army besieging these two cities has withdrawn separately, and they have all withdrawn in the direction of our Qudeng City, plus the main force of the Hu people alliance has not sent cavalry to attack for two days, it seems that the Hu people alliance army is unable to stand it, maybe this Hu people alliance army will be disbanded soon!" ”

Liu Ji said with a cold light in his eyes: "This war is not something that can be ended when the Hu people say it is over, and now in order to block the Hu people's coalition army, our Broken Army has hundreds of thousands of soldiers who have shed their blood on the battlefield, so many soldiers cannot die in vain, and our Broken Army will definitely recover this debt with interest!" ”

Fang Xuanling immediately said: "What the lord said is extremely true, this time our Broken Army just took advantage of the great victory over the Hu people coalition army to let the Beiting Protectorate add a few more states, but this matter is best to wait for the Hu people alliance to disband." ”

Liu Ji nodded and said: "It is true that we can't be in a hurry, now the Hu people alliance army here in Qudeng City still has more troops than our broken army, let's wait patiently for the Hu people alliance to dissolve by itself!" ”

Then Liu Ji said to the generals in the tent: "All troops should seize the time when the Hu Ren coalition army is not attacking to rest, maybe our army should expand its territory next!" ”

On the morning of 16 July, the 1 million cavalry troops of all tribes in the grassland who had penetrated into the Beiting Protectorate returned to the camp of the coalition army north of Qudeng City, and at this time there were less than 700,000 cavalry of 1 million cavalry of all nationalities, and the more than 300,000 cavalry of all nationalities were consumed in the siege of Pengshan City in Qingzhou and Yao'an City in Mizhou.

At noon on July 16, in the tent of Murong Ke, the Great Khan of Xianbei in the camp of the Grassland Alliance, not only the Great Khans of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Khitan, Xirong, Wuheng, Rouran, Donghu, Tiele and Karasuma gathered here, but also 21 Great Khans of the Nomadic Tribes who belonged to the third echelon in the grassland were also gathered here at this time.

As soon as many Great Khans sat down in the felt bag, the Xiongnu Great Khan Luan Timao said in a deep voice: "Our Huns and their affiliated tribes have lost more than 800,000 people for this crusade against the Broken Army, and they are about to reach one-third of the troops gathered by our Xiongnu and their affiliated tribes. ”

As soon as the Hun Great Khan Luan Ti said this, many of the Great Khans in the felt bag couldn't help frowning, but the expressions on the faces of the more Great Khans were very calm.

Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke immediately frowned and said: "Luan Ti is sweating profusely, the current strength of the Broken Capture Army has already made our coalition army of all races helpless, if we allow the Broken Capture Army to continue to develop on the grassland, where will our grassland tribes still have a way to live?" ”

The Great Khan of the Huns, Luan Ti, shrugged his shoulders and said: "The Great Khan also knows that the Broken Army is a huge threat to all the tribes in the grassland, otherwise our Huns will not join the coalition this time, but the current situation is that we have no way to take the Broken Army here in Qudeng City, we can only fight with the Broken Army, and in the mutual fight and consumption, the loss of the Broken Army is far less than that of our Coalition Army. ”

Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke was about to say something more, but the Khitan Khan Yelu Enemy Lie spoke first: "Our Khitan and its subordinate clans have also lost 700,000 troops so far, so our Khitan and its subordinate clans have also decided to withdraw from the coalition army. ”

The Xiongnu and Khitan tribes are about to withdraw from the coalition army, almost as if they have been pushed to the dominoes, and then the Xirong Great Khan Arishan, the Donghu Great Khan Yishag, the Tiele Great Khan Jirimu and the Karasuma Great Khan Zhaonastu have said that their four clans and their affiliated clans will also withdraw from the coalition army, only Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha and Rouran Khan Mu Gulu did not speak with a gloomy face, because the Wuheng tribe, the Rouran tribe and the Xianbei tribe, the grassland is bordered by the Beiting Protectorate of the Broken Army.

The Great Khan of the Huns, Luan Timao, looked at the gloomy Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke, stood up and said loudly: "Murong Ke Great Khan, there are still many things for our Huns and their affiliated clans to evacuate, this Great Khan is going to get busy first, and I will leave!" ”

After the Xiongnu Great Khan Luan Timao finished speaking, he walked outside the felt bag, and the five Great Khans of the Yiqu tribe, the Xubu tribe, the Liqi tribe, the Suli tribe and the Hulu tribe also got up and walked to the outside of the felt bag with the Hun Khan Luan Timao, these five nomadic people who belong to the third echelon of strength on the grassland, are all dependent on the Huns.

Subsequently, the Khitan Great Khan Yelu Enemy Lie also took the Great Khan of the Bai Tan, Limo, Yilou and Kulu tribes and left the handsome tent of the Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke, and then the Xirong Khan A Rishan and the Great Khans of the Yuemo and Liji tribes who were attached to the Xirong tribe also left......

Soon in the handsome tent of the Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke, there were Murong Ke and the Great Khan of the five tribes of Qiluo, Suxi, Yuzhen, Guhun and Ding Ling, who were attached to the Xianbei tribe, as well as the Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha and the Shatuo Khan who was attached to the Wuheng tribe, and then the Rouran Khan Mugulu and the Kli Khan Sasgen who was attached to the Rouran tribe.

Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke looked at the felt bag that was empty, sighed and said to Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha and Rouran Khan Mugulu: "Shuerha Khan, Mugulu Khan, our army is also preparing for retreat!" ”

Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha said with a sad face: "It is easy for the armies of our various ethnic groups to retreat, but can the broken army give up?" ”

Rou Ran sweated a lot and Mu Gu Lu also sighed and said, "Yes! The territories of the Xiongnu, Khitan, Xirong, Donghu, Tiele and Karasuma tribes are not next to the Beiting Protectorate of the Broken Army, but the grasslands of our tribes are adjacent to the Beiting Protectorate of the Broken Army, and the coalition army is disbanded, can the Broken Army let us go? ”

Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke shook his head gloomily and said: "No matter what, the dissolution of the coalition army cannot be changed, and as for the broken army, it can only make peace with it." ”

Beginning on the morning of 17 July, the cavalry of the Grassland Coalition Army, which had gathered north of Qudeng City, slowly retreated to the depths of the grassland further north.

When he learned the news of the retreat of the armies of the various ethnic groups of the Grassland Alliance, Liu Ji had just done a morning exercise with Murong Xue, the princess of Xianbei, in bed.

"Hahaha! What do you think? Murong Xue, now that the coalition forces have begun to retreat, I see what else you can hope for, hurry up and be my Liu Ji's wife! While getting dressed, Liu Ji said to Murong Xue who was tied to the bed.

Murong Xue gritted her teeth and said, "Impossible! You must be trying to lie to me! This time, the coalition army composed of various ethnic groups has almost 10 million troops, how can it not defeat your captive army! Besides, Father Khan won't leave me alone! ”

Liu Ji then said: "You are really hard-mouthed, I don't have time to fight with you now, I'll go and get busy first, you Xianbei tribe took the lead in organizing the alliance of all the tribes in the grassland this time, and our broken army will not end up with your Xianbei tribe!" ”

Murong Xue snorted coldly and said, "Liu Ji, don't be too rampant, even if the coalition army is disbanded, our Xianbei clan, as one of the three strong clans of the grassland, will not be afraid of your captive army at all!" ”
